warning: rant.

anyone else sick of the lack of common courtesy these days, or is it just me?

as a professional, it would not even occur to me to just "show up" and expect someone to be ready, willing and excited to see you at her door. no, my mother raised me better than that.

is it really too much to ask for service professionals WHO HAVE YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION to actually use it?

yes, i am now a SAHM. no, this does not mean that i sit around all day as time slowly ticks by as i prop my feet up eating bon bons and watching daytime television. (seriously, daytime television is crap.)

i have a high needs 4.5 month old infant with severe reflux. what does this mean? it means most of my day is spent doing the following:

changing diapers

cleaning up spit up

fixing a formula bottle to supplement feedings

cleaning up spit up

breast feeding

cleaning up spit up

playing with my baby

cleaning up spit up

trying to calm baby down to sleep

cleaning up spit up

trying to convince baby that it is okay if i am not holding him

cleaning up spit up

toting baby around and attempting one handed tasks

cleaning up spit up

washing bottles

cleaning up spit up

wash. rinse. repeat every three hours.

at some point, the child does fall asleep from pure exhaustion. this is when i take care of my house instead of my child with chores such as mopping up spit up residue.

when you choose THAT MOMENT to ring my doorbell and expect to track in dirt and grout dust, do not be surprised if i eventually go hood rat/trailor trash on you.

why this blog?

in late 2007, i finally began to get help for my eating disorder.
among many activities during treatment, i realized how much "creating" things helped me channel my energy and renew my passion for life.
and now, amongst all of my struggles and daily battles with the devil we call ED, i have become completely addicted to pinterest. so, of course, the next step was to focus again on really living. and creating.
why not blog about it too?
